- Progression-free survival. [ Time Frame: One year ]Proportion of patients with progression-free survival at one year.
- Dose-limiting toxicity [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is calculated as the total number of patients experiencing DLTs divided by the total number treated.
- Change in plasma concentration of lapatinib. [ Time Frame: 15 days (on day 1, 8 and 15) ]Plasma concentrations of lapatinib will be measured on days 1, 8 and 15.
- ABCB1 Expression [ Time Frame: 15 days (on day 1, 8 and 15) ]Levels of ABCB1 expression (cell-free RNA) will be measured using Nanostring sequencing.
